Scorpio 2.76 ja didnt run on Win7

[mike angel]

On my two Win7-machines -2 and 4 cores- Scorpio 2.76ja didnt run.
Both x64 compiles and the x32 compile are crashing.'

On my old WinXP machine the same x32 compile runs pretty good.

Someone can please give a helping hand.

Thanx

Try this program (recommended by Microsoft), needs no installation and will tell you if you are missing any dll.

Heading to bed soon, but if you want to run it in a UCI gui adapted from Winboard to UCI and works GREAT and strong- just PM me or get my email address from Ray Banks, Pete Skinner or Don Dailey- either way when I awake I will send you my folders already set up, logo and all- ready to install.



Will be glad to help-

Hi Mike,
I made my tests only with 1CPU and had no crashes.
So I just tried to analyze with 2CPU and 4CPU - and the engine did not Crash here.
So I think we Need further Infos about the crashes. Do the engines Crash at once, only sometimes e.g. in the endgame, does the engine work inside cmd prompt, which GUI, do you use wb or uci via wb2uci Adapter?

regards

[mike angel]

Thx to all who gave me a reply ... will go with it lateron

Here is my Wb2UCI file....

The engine works perfectly under the Deep Fritz 13 GUI.....

.. have checked it out so far - but no success

Gui used - Arena 3.0
Time - 40 / 5 repeating
winboard

crashed at once when starts - Arena logfile stopped after set time

Console says:

"feature done=O
ht .... = 64.0 MB
eht ... = 8.0 MB
pht ... = 0.8 MB
+ Thread 1 started
processors [2]
EgbbProbe not Loaded!
loading_time = 0s" ... end

I used the tool "depends", that tell me, that could not find the following dlls.

api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-winrt-error-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-winrt-robuffer-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-winrt-string-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-share-scaling-l1-1-1.dll
dcomp.dll

after some google-search i found those dll should belong to
MS-Virtual C++ 2010, so I installed MS-Virtual C++ 2012 redistriutable
but after a reboot its all the same .. it crashed and "depends" give the same output

older versions of Scorpio did well as winboard engines
so i dont want to use the wb2uci-adapter cause it costs some performance

what went wrong ?

Take a look here :

All was with the last Scorpio, on Fritzy 11 GUI , via Wb2Uci, on WinXP, blah-blah-blah......The engine is superb, the Wb2Uci is super-OK,................the user-I DON'T KNOW !
Scorpio 2.7.6 runs also very well on Win 7 OS !

the user-I DON'T KNOW

Tell me about it. This is deja vu and the conclusion so far has been scorpio is not idiot-proof. If I say my engine doesn't crush, I have to nurse wounds of butthurt people. Creating a fake scenario to have a second go at me since first time didn't work, second time didn't work etc... Downright pathetic if you ask me. My suggestions
->Apply cold water on wounded area
->Leave my engine alone, let her crash all she wants.
->Send crush reports to bopo194@yahoo.com if you have to.

...that´s normal, the engine has not crashed!
type:
